Acupuncture for chronic back pain

Acupuncture for chronic back pain

|

Acupuncture according to a recent study conducted by the Group of the Centre of health for health studies in Seattle, any type of acupuncture, passing or not through the skin, help to treat the chronic back pain in adult patients. Surprising this study has not resided in discovering their analgesic characteristics, but acupuncture not through the skin is as effective as the traditional acupuncture.

Is known back pain is a chronic problem of modern health in the societies and is the main cause for which patients come to acupuncture when traditional medical therapies aren’t effective. Already existed previous studies in which acupuncture showed as a viable option, but its reliability had been placed in discussion. this study instead explored more than 600 adults with chronic pain of back with 4 different therapies: acupuncture individualized, standardized, the simulated (or not penetrating) and traditional acupuncture. In the Sham acupuncture group practitioners used dental sticks in tubes (to hide them from view) and stimulated traditional pressure points without crossing the skin

once made 10 sessions for 7 weeks, patients felt an improvement in their symptoms, remain the same in the four treatments. In turn, decreased the need for these use medication that year and the next, because almost 2/3 of these were taking medication, such as analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (such as ibuprofen).

As we have already mentioned, the surprise has been that Sham acupuncture would give the same results, seem to apply to the treatment would not be necessary to pass through the skin nor use needle. by who?, the question remains unanswered and brings more doubts about the mechanism of action of acupuncture. Is possible that the acupuncture “ surface ” also stimulates a series of physiological processes that result in analgesia, although also it might be a case of placebo.

“ They can stimulate pressure points, with needles, electricity, even with laser light at different frequencies. Pressing these points is one of the characteristics of the Japanese art of stimulation, especially for persons age or weak constitution. This could be explained as two different methods have the same effect ”

researchers underline that not knowing which is a mechanism of action, does not mean that no works, provided that it has shown that it actually works.

Loss of vision some foods might avoid it

Loss A new study suggests that adults of age with diets rich in citrus fruits, green leaves and oil of fish, but of low glycaemic index, could reduce the risk of suffering the loss of common vision due to age, i.e., macular degeneration, the leading cause in the U.S. suffer loss of vision.

This degeneration slowly damages the macula, the part of the retina of the eye where it “ reflect ” the images and affects more than 1 million Americans, especially from the age of 65. A series of studies which have been studied more than 4000 people suggest that nutrients such as the antioxidant luteínicios, vitamin C and vitamin E may protect against this degeneration. researchers have discovered that patients who tended to take fish rich in fatty acids omega 3 or food with vitamin C, E, zinc, lutein or carotenes, had lower risk for this loss of vision. Both the lutein and the carotenes are vegetable pigments act as antioxidentes, and found in foods such as broccoli, spinach and other green leafy vegetables and eggs.

The level of blood sugar is associated with the Index Glycemic (IG) of food, which may eventually increase the damage to the macula. Foods of high GI foods such as bread and potatoes, while the IG would lentils, vegetables, yogurt and high fiber foods that prevent sugar to increase “ coup ” in the blood.

This is due to excess sugar interacts with other molecules, such as fats and proteins, to create radical free, which can damage cells and cause various diseases as degeneration macular. That is why that antioxidants could be so effective in systems already something damaged by the passage of time.

Previously on your health: operation bikini. 10 simple tips (II)

Operation the main feature of a healthy diet is that he suits our needs. What is meant by our needs? Unlike in some years in which perhaps physical activity distributed from morning to afternoon, today her we concentrate mainly evenings and at most, half later. What means this?

We must concentrate the greater part of carbohydrates of the day in the morning (and avoid fats, cheeses and whole milk), but if possible, we should avoid to make them simple sugars, it is better to take a fresh juice and some natural Compote with toast, than a coffee with much sugar and jam. If we are long-chain sugars, energy will be distributed throughout the day, in time cause us a peak glycaemic (that could cause the sugar to become fat). a Council: skimmed milk, juice, toast and natural with some natural applesauce.

At the same time we must distribute meals throughout the day, therefore, not lunch you must jump you. If you have completed exercise in the morning, a yogurt you can drink, but it is best that you take a piece of fruit. But there comes a time of food, here must take protein, carbohydrates and even somewhat fat (although we must always avoid wherever possible), preferably a starter rich in carbohydrates and fiber, vegetables, rice, pasta or mashed. Second preferably meat dish, although if possible, slightly vegetables as garnish. And last but not least, there is no problem in taking a yogurt (preferably skimming), although another piece of fruit would not be not evil.

Finally at the dinner we must avoid fats and sugars, and take protein, little energy and that hardly become fat. We must therefore avoid dinner too late and also the membership cards, take precedence the fish and the vegetables (or even soups). The ideal dessert will be the fruit, as milk, sugary or not, will provide us carbohydrates and some fat that we do not need. But despite everything if you fancy something sweet, a grenade or grapes.

Operation today are going to give you a new Council to lose those extra pounds: exercise in fasting s. If you are fans the fitness you must know this recommendation. Why it is that we should do so in fasting? Well, all we have been told to lose weight should exercise, but let us say that it is not as simple, i.e. If there is no way to lose fat (not water and glycogen, which is what is lost with the monodietas) without exercise. But … normally when we exercise we are burning glycogen in our muscles, for “ burning ” really these fats needed exercise for a continued time. known Council that is due in part to this if you want to lose weight to do is walk and partly true, every minute that passes from constant exercise burn a greater fat percentage. To make this significant must perform not less than 50 minutes and is also not very profitable. Solution? do sport when our glycogen levels are minimal and when is this happening? normally (if you have not done a copious dinner, following our advice) before breakfast or after exercise intense.

To lower level of glycogen, more fat that will be consumed, therefore we recommend exercising newly awakened, and before breakfast. With this we do not want to tell you that not you breakfast, or a lot less, after exercise and a good shower you breakfast to replenish forces, and possibly with IG food rich in fiber and low. If you do not forget to take a bottle of water and if you have low tension, is possible once finished with the bike (or run), you marees a little quiet, it is not common, but it isn’t anything dangerous, provided you do not intense aerobic exercise.

Fun (d) and (d) dentist.

’ve already once gone to the dentist? is it not? Therefore I tell you …:.

Spain, 2011-September the dentist is a doctor – or a doctor – which specialises in caring for your teeth, so that they are in the form of biting stuff that you both like: an Apple or a pizza, for example. And it is also who helps to get your beautiful smile in photos when you smile to the House of friends.

If you’ve never been you explain a little what a visit to the dentist, because it is important to visit the dentist with a couple of times a year, so your teeth work perfectly.

when you enter in the query you will meet first the Assistant is who will help you to upload to a very special wheelchair which can seem very big but it is because it is designed for adults. You put a napkin, will teach you to where you have a glass of water, turn on a very large lamp, and will ask you if you are comfortable or comfortable in the Chair. It is then he will come to greet you the dentist.

The first thing is to ask to open the mouth, well to see how are your teeth. Normally will explain you all the things that makes one of the first will be cleaning the teeth with a small device that makes a special noise. You will notice as a vibration in the teeth, but it doesn’t hurt anything. What makes the device is to eliminate the plaque * that you have not removed with daily brushing. The plate is like a thin layer that is hooked to your teeth and can have bacteria * that are capable of producing CARIES * or holes in your teeth.

It is possible that the dentist decides to photograph your teeth, x-rays to see if there is something hidden that has not been able to see with their eyes.

Pictures of teeth are like pictures, you find out or hurt anything.

If the dentist discovers that you do have a hole probably he will ask that you come back soon to make you a special treatment, filling in the tooth with a very hard material, so that you can continue biting.

when it is necessary to fix a tooth, the dentist you put a small injection, an ANÉSTÉSICO * that will make that not notice anything because your mouth will be as asleep. But it is only a short time and then you will already notice your mouth just like always.

“ Take care of your teeth is important because they last you a lifetime and the dentist is the friend that will most help you take care of them ”.
